| Cert Description |
| Banding together as a team in June of 2003, the four communities began the cooperative effort to create the QUAD CITY CERT.
Under the direction of the Executive Board, committees developed procedures for training, team activation, transportation, communication, and mass inoculation.
The team created a website, an on-line database; and By-Laws. It was awarded two FEMA grants which were used to purchase necessary equipment including a fire training unit, a trailer, CERT disaster kits, and other emergency related supplies.
A mass inoculation drill was held in April, 2005 with 120 workers getting 300 volunteer victims through the system.
The Quad City CERT includes 11 certified instructors; 280 trained members; and over 500 reserve volunteers. Training is on-going and new volunteers are always welcome! |
